Our guest from our FRANKENSTEIN episode, Bethany Brookshire (@beebrookshire) is back to discuss a slightly less Halloweeny tale: Jane Austen's LADY SUSAN. Another one for our absolute pantheon of Lady Fuckbois, LADY SUSAN and the recent film adaptation called LOVE & FRIENDSHIP starring Kate Beckinsale gives us something we've always wanted: a slightly villainous lady who gets punished in proportion to her crimes.
